1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Asphalt ultra-thin overlays have emerged as an efficient and cost-effective pavement preservation technology. However, because of their reduced thickness, their service life is often limited by cracking. Based on semi-circular bending (SCB) test data, this study developed three types of regression models: multiple linear regression (MLR), random forest regression (RFR), and artificial neural network (ANN) regression. The multifactor experimental matrix covered three test temperatures, three nominal maximum aggregate sizes, two binder types, three aging states, and four long-term aging durations. The results show that fracture energy (G
